So, it is worth noting that when you're working with an opened document in Acrobat, specially if that document is using online storage services, the pages that your currently viewing in your screen, as you're scrolling up and down, are actually downloaded in the background one page at a time.

When you collaborate online and have enabled a file synchronizing service in the background, the online storage folder will continue to act as a temporary cache until the file that you're working with is fully saved to an online folder in a cloud space, or fully downloaded or saved to a local folder in a computer device. However, It is my understaing that "Show Online Storage" is basically a setting that enables online collaboration and file synchronization services the online storage location acts as a temporary file storage space (if I am not mistaken).

Sometimes, having a fully updated system doesn't necessarily means that duplicated old system files are removed from prior installations of the Acrobat program.Įven orphan registry entries (if on MS Windows) or Plist (if using macOS), remain as stubborn traces of the old software. I personally have never run into this issue since I started using Acrobat and Reader back in 2019.īut all of these settings and preferences ( mentioned above) play an important role that at some point can run into issues and deserves attention during unattended system updates. OR, maybe if Acrobat is used as a stand alone program but the user decides to configure additional third-party Cloud storage services (other than the Document Cloud). It may also be that using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC with a parallel installation of Adobe Reader DC leads to misbehaviors because both of these programs also share share some of the same software libraries. Such preferences settings may also interfere with other operating systems integration settings, such as : web browser security zones, operating system firewall rules, external routers, online proxy services, or a restrictive VPN service, to include fluctuating Internet service speeds, or even using Adobe Acrobat via the Creative Cloud Desktop app to collaborate online with other Adobe programs (like Photoshop, Illustrator, XD, for example). I think that enabling or disabling this preference may run into issues depending on certain system requirements, user preferences at the desktop level, security layers and other javascript sandboxing preferences.
